Yellow soot is obtained when the holes of the burner are not clean. The combustion is incomplete. The yellow soot or yellow flame is because of unburnt carbon particles.

Why is there a yellow flame on the Bunsen burner?
The yellow color is from the incandescence of not burned soot particles.
Is the yellow flame on a Bunsen burner the unburnt gas?
No. The yellow flame is actually due to incomplete combustion because of a lack of oxygen gas (air intake) and as a result carbon particles (soot) get ignited causing the yellow flame.
How do you prevent the underside of the test tube from turning black?
Turn down the gas on your burner to reduce the yellow part of the flame. the blue flame is best for no black, called soot.
Why can't you heat an object with the safety flame on a Bunsen burner?
Because it is 'dirty', meaning it leaves soot. Also because it isn't that hot.
When we heat things with a yellow Bunsen burner flame they get covered in soot where do the carbon particles come from to make the soot?
The fuel in the Bunsen burner is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. The hydrogen combines with the oxygen in air to form water leaving the carbon behind as the black substance.

What is deposited on the porcelain dish when put in a bunsen burner with yellow sooty flame?
Black carbon soot is deposited on the porcelain

Why should the yellow Bunsen burner flame not be used for heating?
because it isnt hot enough and will leave soot on the bottom of the thing you are heating
What type of flame is used for heating in Bunsen burner?
The yellow flame is considered a safe flame. If you are using the Bunsen to heat you would open the air vent so the flame turns blue, try heat on a yellow flame and it'll end up covered in soot.
Which flame is not suitable for heating in Bunsen burner?
The yellow flame (or luminous flame) should not be used because 1. It is less hot that the blue flame (or non-luminous flame) 2. It produces soot, as compared to the blue flame which is the clean flame
What dos a Bunsen burner do when the air hole is clos?
When you close the air valve of a Bunsen burner the flame turns yellow due to incomplete combustion and the ignition of carbon particles (soot).
What is the yellow part of the yellow flame made of?
Soot.
Why does a yellow flame appear on the Bunsen burner when the air hole is closed?
In a laboratory under normal conditions and with a closed oxygen valve, a Bunsen burner burns with yellow flame (also called a safety flame). This is due to the burning of very fine soot particles that are produced in the flame. With increasing oxygen supply, less black body-radiating soot is produced due to a more complete combustion and the reaction creates enough energy to producing a blue appearance flame.
Which flame on a Bunsen burner is silent?
The silent flame on the Bunsen burner is the yellow/orange flame.
